As I sit here and reflect over the past month or so, I'm trying to think of something that I could say to reach someone. Something that someone can relate to. Any person, really. I know I've talked about my epilepsy a million times. That's been incredibly cathartic. I know that it will be again,... Continue Reading →

I guess this week's going to be more of a story than anything else, because there's a lot going on in my head right now. After a 48-hour EEG last week, I went to the doctor on Thursday morning and met with my famous, brilliant doctor. We determined that the medicine hasn't been working. The... Continue Reading →

In the past few weeks, my roommate and I have been constantly recalling memories from our years at college so far, especially lately, as we design our apartment for our last year.

It's only been a week and I haven't made much more peace with any of this. I haven't been able to wrap my head around the fact that the cycle is starting again. That the doctor's appointments, medication changes, and tests are going to start again. Everytime I try to tell myself that everything will... Continue Reading →

On Monday, I spent the whole day relaxing. I cooked, watched some TV, took a nap, and when I finally sat down to do some homework that night, I got settled in on the couch in my apartment. I was suddenly very dizzy, which got worse and worse until I blacked out. The next thing... Continue Reading →
